The Wallowa Valley Festival of Arts hosts this exciting event annually in conjunction with the annual Festival of Arts. Artists have a set amount of time in which they must complete a piece of artwork to be auctioned. Artists keep 75% of the final bid price, with 25% going to support the Wallowa Valley Festival of Arts in the future.

Night of Quick Draw is held Saturday during the Wallowa Valley Festival of the Arts weekend at the Joseph Community Center (same location as WV Festival of the Arts). The artists will start from a completely blank canvas (or other work surface) and create a finished product in an hour and a half.

Join us at 7pm on Saturday for live music, art, hors d'oeuvrves, and a full, no-host bar. You won't want to miss it."

"I've been involved in a lot of art events, but this is more fun than anything I've done in the arts..." Bob Fergison, as quoted in the Wallowa County Chieftain, April 7th, 2005
